Introduction to DevOps Value Stream Management
Value stream management (or DevOps value stream management as it is referred to by Gartner) refers to the end-to-end software delivery process and the importance of managing it effectively from end-to-end as an integrated process of delivery of value for the customer – hence, value stream management.
Value stream management is, therefore, a key enabler of effective Agile software delivery and is in keeping with the core principle of Agile software delivery – “the early and continuous delivery of valuable software”.
This short Whitepaper considers the central role of end-to-end value stream metrics in effective DevOps Value Stream Management (VSM). It looks at key value stream metrics and related Agile DevOps metrics and how they can be applied to optimize the overall health of product delivery.
